Girls and Their Comics
In America, comics and comic books have often been associated with adolescent male fantasy--muscle-bound superheroes and scantily clad women. Nonetheless, comics have also been read and enjoyed by girls. While there have been many strong representations of women throughout their history, the comics of today have evolved and matured, becoming a potent medium in which to explore the female experience, particularly that of girlhood and adolescence. In Girls and Their Comics: Finding a Female Voice in Comic Book Narrative, Jacqueline Danziger-Russell contends that comics have a unique place in the representation of female characters. She discusses the overall history of the comic book, paying sp...
Blame Canada!
Satirically edgier than The Simpsons, South Park responds immediately to cultural controversies and has no fear in tackling subjects like Terri Schiavo, The Passion of The Christ, and Michael Jackson, while co-opting disparate elements such as Kill Bill and Janet Jackson's nipple into one episode. Its mixture of iconoclasm, cultural referents, and intertextuality makes it the perfect lens through which to examine contemporary popular culture in America and television's role in the creation of that culture. Blame Canada! is a smart, readable book that will appeal to the show's many fans as much as to scholars and researchers of contemporary television.

Australian fashion is an up and coming area, moving away from the beach look that is usually associated with Australia into more high fashion pieces. This book takes an academic look at some of the styles s...
